2 of NFL’s top rivalries have turned sour | ABC 7 WWSB
Since the Raiders moved back from Los Angeles to Oakland in 1995, there’s been only one season when both clubs had winning records (2016).

Games First, Drama Second
Scoring is up. This isn’t a leadership trait. It’s fun, though, and deliciously watchable. On Monday Night Football, the Los Angeles Rams beat the Kansas City Chiefs 54-51.

Who is having the best rookie season from a crowded NFL running back class? | SB Nation
At a time in which both the value and proper use of running backs is coming into question more than ever, eight backs were selected in the first 71 picks of the 2018 NFL draft, and 12 have been given at least 50 intended touches (rushes plus pass targets) this year.
Richard Sherman sounds off on Seahawks, Wilson | NFL
In a news conference Thursday ahead of his return to Seattle, Sherman expressed that there are still hard feelings surrounding his Emerald City exit.

Is This the Patriots’ Last Stand? | Sports Illustrated
New England wobbled through the first half against a Jets team that hasn’t won a game in a month-and-a-half, only taking the lead for good with 1:52 left in the third quarter. And if you watched, most of the action had the look of a proud old prizefighter simply letting a young underdog punch himself out, just waiting to throw a couple victory-delivering haymakers.
